OUR STORY

Bodoni Studio is based in Rosebery Sydney. It is owned and managed by our creative director, Peter Scriven. We are passionate about communication and recognise that our clients work with us because they want to achieve tangible results.

Bodoni was built around the creative backbone of the design industry – design and typesetting. Our name was inspired by the classic serif typeface first designed by Giambattista Bodoni in the late eighteenth century. The Bodoni font has been described as both ‘modern’ and ‘elegant’. Our aim is to reflect this in our commitment to modern and elegant design.

OUR MISSION

Creativity drives everything we do, from the strategies we develop to the rollout of the brands we nurture. We believe in creativity that creates sales. Ideas, design, strategies, experiences and results are all driven by a commitment to improving our clients’ businesses and adding value to their brands.

OUR TEAM

Peter Scriven

Creative director. Designer. Artist.

A multi-disciplinary designer with over two decades of marketing experience, Peter is a highly motivated creative solutionist.

He is a complete design professional with proven brand-equity building experience. Having worked across a diverse range of industry sectors, his primary aim is to create a strong, consistent and creative brand presence.

An artist by nature, a creative by experience, he is a marketing all-rounder who understands the real world demands of business. An artist who can actually draw, Peter usually concepts ideas on paper often in the client briefing session – before developing them digitally. He is a painter who has exhibited his impressionistic, light filled artwork in several successful group and solo shows.

With an intelligent understanding of all the facets of design, he has a proven ability to manage projects from brief to completion. Drawing on broad industry experience, his greatest strengths lie in the creation and guardianship of clients’ brands. His impressive portfolio of work has a strong emphasis on increasing the user experience and sales.

Bill Gurney

Senior graphic designer. Coach. Surfer.

Bill joined our associated company Harley and Jones in 1972. He started his career in hot metal typesetting, and craftsmanship shows in everything he does. He loves crafting, styling and finessing huge documents. Anal (but in a good way), he is instrumental in the creation and project management of all aspects of our clients’ brand equity development.

Away from the office he coaches and trains women’s and special needs kids’ soccer teams. Loved, respected and slightly feared, he instills a sense of pride, sportsmanship and joy into his players, just as he does with his work.

On Sundays he can be found tackling the waves with his vintage surfer mates. His ability to adapt quickly to the unpredictability of the waves and shifts on the ocean is curiously similar to his ability to react to changing market conditions when he’s in the office.

Ann Adams

Book keeper. Bee keeper. The money lady.

Ann has been with the company for more than 12 years. A professional with a background in IT, she runs a thriving bookkeeping business, serving a number of companies. Her passions outside the office include beekeeping and music.

Dev Nathan

IT guru. Project manager. Consultant.

Dev’s role is fundamental to maintaining our back-end systems and relationships with multiple vendors. He is adept in applying creative thinking to solving project issues and implement solutions. Many of the problems encountered are unique, complex and large in scale, requiring lateral, ‘out of the box’ thinking.

His role at Bodoni ranges from developing project budgets and tracking and managing costs, to liaising with project stakeholders, system owners, IT vendors, and internal and external project personnel. His proven ability in coordinating resources and assigning tasks is another key strength.

Vern Nathan

Financial pundit. Mediator. Spiritual guide.

Vern has extensive commercial industry experience in private and government organisations, including the shared services environment. He has managed over 200 commercial projects with widely varying technologies, complexities, specifications, and business needs. His experience includes the consolidation and virtualisation of projects as well as implementing projects in a cloud environment. These were delivered to a range of clients, often with complex and risk sensitive requirements.

At Bodoni, Vern sees his main role as being to encourage and inspire the development of a strong, effective, ethical and professional team, complemented by a clear focus on the continual development of the capabilities and capacities of individual team members.
